From NITRC Wiki

data.wsgi and dicomfs are initial expressions of a generalized way of thinking of data and data formats. Rather than keeping copies of the same data set in multiple formats, on-demand access to data in a given format may be used. This is similar to using a view in a database or, for the quantum mechanically inclined, projecting an abstract data set into a concrete representation:

= T1 data for some subject

T1.nii =

T1_aligned.nii =

This philosophy aligns itself well with REST's concept of resources and delivery of resource information according to the Accept header.

• numpy
• nibabel
• sqlite and the sqlite python module
• PIL
• pydicom

data.wsgi exposes DICOM data through a web server; it requires:

• dft.py
• WSGI

dicomfs exposes DICOM data through a FUSE filesystem; it requires:

• dft.py
• FUSE
